Open Tanning Salons in Oklahoma

Tanning salons are primarily solely-owned small businesses. We are seasonal based business and unfortunately this is our "peak season". (April - June) In most cases, the income we earn during this period helps suppliment our bills during the slower months. It will be very difficult to recover from our "peak season" losses. The PPP and EIDL programs have failed a majority of us and we are left without any means of income while being shut down. Tanning salons have always prided themselves in being extremely clean and sanitary places. We already practice heightened sanitary and privacy/spacing procedures. New procedures would include: appropriate social distancing in lobby upon check-in and then sent to a private room that has been sanitized/disinfected thoroughly. Check-in procedure will be as brief as possible. No more than 10 people at a time will be permitted in the salon at one given time. If more than one door to business is present, one door will be labeled "enter" and one "exit".
